4-Methoxyindole CAS 4837-90-5

4-Methoxyindole (CAS:4837-90-5) is an important heterocyclic compounds.

Its main applications including:

1. 4-Methoxyindole is an important methoxy-substituted indole intermediate for the synthesis of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and neurological pharmaceutical compounds.
2. 4-Methoxyindole is a common building block for fine organic synthesis, applied in electrophilic substitution, cyclization and functional modification reactions of heterocycles.
3. 4-Methoxyindole is a key raw material for preparing organic luminescent materials, heterocyclic functional monomers and pesticide intermediate products.

1. Seal tightly and store below 30°C in a dry, cool and dark environment to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis of the methoxy substituent and indole ring.
2. Keep away from direct sunlight, high humidity and heat sources to avoid structural deterioration and purity decline of the product.
3. Store separately from strong oxidants, strong acids and moisture-prone materials to prevent chemical reaction and product failure.

1. Avoid inhalation of solid dust; wear protective dust mask, chemical gloves and goggles during sampling, weighing and experimental operation.
2. Prevent skin and eye contact; in case of accidental contact, rinse the affected area with plenty of running clean water for several minutes immediately.
3. Waste materials, residual solids and waste liquid generated from experiments shall be treated in accordance with organic heterocyclic hazardous waste disposal specifications.

1. The methoxy group has good chemical stability under conventional synthesis conditions, effectively improving the structural stability of indole derivatives.
2. The electron-donating effect of methoxy group can regulate the electronic properties of indole ring, which is conducive to targeted synthetic modification.
3. High-purity crystalline solid with low impurity content, which can effectively improve the yield and purity of downstream synthetic products.
